Yes, the rack mount can be a bit tricky with the variety of different styles out there. Some have very thin sheet metal "tangs" for mounting nothing more than a reflector, and I've seen these stress fracture and break under a heavier dynamic load, but I actually did make a nice Tubus-style adapter with the 50mm and 80mm spacing that worked really well. I just ended up not having a lot of call for it, and didn't make any more after the initial batch, although I may try to build some more in the next machine shop run.

Here are a couple of ideas. The Magicshine taillight and 2 of the $16 Amazon Magicshine-clone headlights with colored lenses pointing backwards. The 2 clones are then connected to one battery using a Y harness.

The 2 big pluses for the Designshine are brightness and versatile mount.
